Let $n\geq1$ be a positive integer. $n$ lamps are placed in a line. At minute 0, some lamps are on (maybe all of them). Every minute the state of the lamps changes: A lamp is on at minute $t+1$ if and only if at minute $t$, exactly one of its neighbors is on (the two lamps at the ends have one neighbor each, all other lamps have two neighbors). For which values of $n$ can we guarantee that all lamps will be off after some time?

Seven different positive integers are written on a sheet of paper. The result of the multiplication of the seven numbers is the cube of a whole number. If the largest of the numbers written on the sheet is $N$, determine the smallest possible value of $N$. Show an example for that value of $N$ and explain why $N$ cannot be smaller.

Let $ \omega$ be a circle with center O and radius 10, and let H be a point such that $OH = 6$. A point P is called snug if, for all triangles ABC with circumcircle ω and orthocenter $H$, we have that P lies on $\triangle$ABC or in the interior of $\triangle$ABC. Find the area of the region consisting of all snug points.

Let $n$ be a positive integer and let $f_1(x), f_2(x) \dots f_n(x)$ be affine functions from $\mathbb{R}$ to $\mathbb{R}$ such that, amongst the graph of these functions, no two are parallel and no three are concurrent. Let $S$ be the set of all convex functions $g(x)$ from $\mathbb{R}$ to $\mathbb{R}$ such that for each $x \in \mathbb{R}$, there exists $i$ such that $g(x) = f_i(x)$. Determine the largest and smallest possible values of $|S|$ in terms of $n$. (A function $f(x)$ is affine if it is of form $f(x) = ax + b$ for some $a, b \in \mathbb{R}$. A function $g(x)$ is convex if $g(\lambda x + (1 - \lambda) y) \leq \lambda g(x) + (1-\lambda)g(y)$ for all $x, y \in \mathbb{R}$ and $0 \leq \lambda \leq 1$)

The vertices of a triangle are lattice points. There are no lattice points on the sides (apart from the vertices) and $n$ lattice points inside the triangle. Show that its area is $n + \frac12$. Find the formula for the general case where there are also $m$ lattice points on the sides (apart from the vertices).

Joaquim, José and João participate of the worship of triangle $ABC$. It is well known that $ABC$ is a random triangle, nothing special. According to the dogmas of the worship, when they form a triangle which is similar to $ABC$, they will get immortal. Nevertheless, there is a condition: each person must represent a vertice of the triangle. In this case, Joaquim will represent vertice $A$, José vertice $B$ and João will represent vertice $C$. Thus, they must form a triangle which is similar to $ABC$, in this order. Suppose all three points are in the Euclidean Plane. Once they are very excited to become immortal, they act in the following way: in each instant $t$, Joaquim, for example, will move with constant velocity $v$ to the point in the same semi-plan determined by the line which connects the other two points, and which would create a triangle similar to $ABC$ in the desired order. The other participants act in the same way. If the velocity of all of them is same, and if they initially have a finite, but sufficiently large life, determine if they can get immortal. [i]Observation: Initially, Joaquim, José and João do not represent three collinear points in the plane[/i]
